The fastest, most accurate hail reports and maps in your pocket!
Verisk Insurance Solutions has been tracking hail across the United States for more than 10 years using advanced hail detection algorithms. Benchmark-Mobile data is not based on the free NWS storm reports that others use; this is a radar-based algorithm consuming the highest resolution dual polarization radar data available. Benchmark-Mobile gives you the hail history for any location in the continental United States instantly by dropping a pin on the aerial map image of the roof itself. Hail Reports include date and estimated size of hail both at the property and within 5 miles. Hail Maps show hail size and indicate where the hail size changes within the storm region.
Key App Features:
- Instantly generates Hail Reports and Hail Maps on the job or in the office
- Uses your device’s GPS to find the address for a hail report while on location
- Finds all hail events going back to 2009
- Reports hail size down to the nearest 0.25” (after Feb. 22, 2012)
- Easily emails hail history reports
Benchmark-Mobile allows insurance adjusters to help the insured pinpoint the correct date of loss, prevent fraud, and determine if hail damage could have occurred prior to coverage. When used as a best practice on all of your hail claims, Benchmark-Mobile helps ensure adjusters are paying only for valid hail claims.
Roofing contractors use Benchmark-Mobile to get verification quickly from a third party of hail damage they have inspected. Contractors are now equipped to help the insured file their claim more efficiently and avoid disputes about the date of loss.
